She glanced at Lu Shichen expectantly, and found that the other party was indifferent, and his face did not fluctuate.

Thinking that there might be a change of clothes in the old mansion, Nie Anxia gritted her teeth, planning to rush into the house first and then find a way to solve the skirt.

As soon as she made a decision in her heart, she heard Lu Shichen say in disgust behind her, "Are you going to dress like this to see the old man?" ”

Nie Anxia's courage that he finally mustered up, like a balloon that had been punctured, deflated in an instant.

"It's raining so hard, I'm embarrassed to trouble you." She resignedly, feeling weak and helpless.

Lu Shichen glanced at her briefly, sighed and said, "With the pocket umbrella in your hand, it's strange that you can block the rain." ”

was unceremoniously complained by him, Nie Anxia was quite unconvinced in her heart, and couldn't help but want to fight back.

Before the draft in her stomach was ready, Lu Shichen stepped out of the car and opened a wide umbrella.

"Put away your." His tone was rather unpleasant, and he took off his coat and draped it over her.

Nie Anxia didn't dare to provoke him, so he could only obediently put away the umbrella.

The rain was so heavy that the raindrops were hitting the umbrella, and the sound of crackling echoed in my ears.

Although his umbrella was wide enough, it was really not enough to completely shelter the two of them from the wind and rain.

Nie Anxia crossed her arms and tried her best to reduce the area of her body, not wanting to cause trouble to the other party. Seeing her thoughts, Lu Shichen hugged her tightly in his arms.

"If you don't want to get wet, just stick to me." His voice was particularly magnetic at the moment.

Although Nie Anxia was very reluctant to have intimate contact, when she thought that life was more important, she still clung to him without saying a word.

The road from the gate to the old house is not far, but it seems to be quite far because of the heavy rain.

The two walked for a few minutes, and Lu Shichen was almost drenched before they returned to the old mansion.

"Yo, the sun is really coming out of the west today!" Zhuang Yuexian's sharp voice pierced into her eardrums.

The last person Nie Anxia wants to see now is her, but she didn't expect to meet her so coincidentally, this is really a narrow road.

"It's raining so hard, and you two distinguished guests can come to the door, it seems that there must be something big!" Zhuang Yuexian looked ignorant, not knowing that the scandal outside had spread.

Nie Anxia felt bad luck when she saw her, and said with a gloomy face, "Second aunt, have you seen my pearl earrings?" ”

Although she knew that the dog couldn't spit out ivory from her mouth, and the woman definitely couldn't say anything good, Nie Anxia still had to act until home.

"Pearl earrings?" Zhuang Yuexian exclaimed in surprise, "In my eyes, pearls less than one carat are not worthy of being pearl earrings!" Can your stuff be considered an ornament? ”

Nie Anxia had a cold face, didn't take her words to heart, and asked again, "Second aunt, have you seen it?" ”

Zhuang Yuexian frowned in disgust, "Even if I see it, what? The earrings have been lost for so long, are you still counting on getting them back? ”

This ability to preface and not match the afterword not only made Nie Anxia feel angry, but also couldn't help but want to pity her.

"If you don't see it, forget it, don't talk nonsense with me here." You're already a little annoyed.

I didn't lose my earrings, I just wanted to find a reason for Lu Shichen and the old man to meet.

If Zhuang Yuexian hadn't happened to appear, she wouldn't have bothered to take care of her, but now she would have dragged her up.

Nie Anxia was about to leave with Lu Shichen, when she heard this woman pretending to speak again.

"What do you say, but I really have some memory. It seems to be a pearl earring of inferior quality, and it looks like a bargain. I'm still wondering who brought this stuff at the banquet, it turned out to be yours! Zhuang Yuexian also covered her mouth and snickered.

Seeing her so proud, Nie Anxia couldn't bear it, and couldn't help but speak, "Is it that if I don't scold you for a day, you think I'm dumb?" ”

Zhuang Yuexian didn't coax, but said arrogantly, "You have no conscience, I was kind enough to help you find earrings, but now it's my fault?" ”

Nie Anxia was too lazy to waste time with her, and was about to leave when she dragged Lu Shichen, and before she took a few steps, she heard the people behind her start scolding the street.

"What a wolf-hearted guy, help you find a broken earring and have a high attitude, I've never seen such a shameless woman!"

"I shouldn't be so kind, I should let you experience the heat and coldness of the world! You're such a mother-in-law! ”

Listening to the words in his ears, the anger in Nie Anxia's heart gradually soared, and he wanted to scold.

"Enough of that?" Old Man Lu's serious words sounded, and the minds of the three of them instantly calmed down.

"Dad, you don't know how excessive she is. I kindly helped her find earrings, but this guy not only didn't appreciate it, but also spoke rudely to me! "Zhuang Yuexian has another wicked person to sue first.

Fortunately, Old Man Lu was not blind this time, but said with a serious face, "Do you really think that I am an old fool and can't even tell the difference between this matter?" ”

With the deterrence of this sentence, Zhuang Yuexian was so frightened that she didn't dare to squeak, and slipped away with her tail between her legs.

Seeing her running so fast, the corners of Nie Anxia's mouth raised a smug arc, almost forgetting the existence of Old Man Lu.

"You're leaving work pretty early today." Grandpa Lu looked at Lu Shichen.

Seeing that he didn't plan to speak, Nie Anxia took the initiative to take over the conversation, "It's because I saw that it was going to rain heavily, so I got off work early." Another thing is to find earrings that have been left at home. ”

"Earrings?" Old Man Lu also felt a little strange, and asked rhetorically, "Just buy a new one, why do you have to go to great lengths to find it?" ”

She just wanted to explain that these earrings have a special meaning, but she didn't expect Lu Shichen to take the initiative to speak.

"Money may not buy everything, and some things that are lost will never be recovered."

His words have a strong suggestive meaning, and they have to be reminiscent of other meanings.

Nie Anxia hurriedly explained, "Shi Chen is just anxious for me, these earrings are a birthday gift from my father, and they are a bit special to me." ”

She didn't want to take out the gift setting to talk about it, but now in order to prevent Grandpa Lu from being hostile to Lu Shichen, she can only take it out to cover up.

"If it's a birthday present, then I understand." Old Man Lu had a very understanding attitude, "Tell me what the earrings look like, if there are any photos of the past, I will ask the housekeeper to carry out a carpet search." ”

Nie Anxia was frightened by this battle, and immediately shirked it embarrassedly, "Don't bother you." Originally, they were trinkets bought everywhere on the street, and they weren't worth much in total. ”

If you really start a carpet search, I'm afraid it will cost a thousand less, and more importantly, there are no earrings in the old mansion at all!

"Why doesn't it matter? Meaning money can't buy something, this is the most valuable gift in the world! Old Man Lu looked serious, as if he was very concerned about this matter.

Nie Anxia didn't expect him to be so excited, and he was really taken aback.

"Grandpa, thank you for being so kind to me." She first thanked her, and then diverted the topic, "It's raining heavily outside today, and my clothes are also wet, I want to change my clothes first." ”

Old Man Lu glanced at her and Lu Shichen, only to find that the two of them were almost in a state of being in a state of soup.

"I'm really sorry for you, go upstairs and change your clothes." He finally stopped talking about earrings.

Nie Anxia and Lu Shichen had just changed their clothes, and Old Man Lu ordered someone to call them to the study.

"You're here just in time for today, and I just remembered that I have a difficult question for you to solve."

As soon as the two entered the study, Mr. Lu unceremoniously assigned the task, "This is an economics question, can you think of the answer?" ”

I heard that it was related to economics, although Nie Anxia didn't know about it, but she couldn't help but want to see the difficulty.

She sneaked her head forward, and after just one look, she was frightened by the messy patterns.

Can that be called economics? It's literally astronomy, and it's written in a wordless heavenly book.

"If I can do this, I'll give you the pearl earrings." Old Man Lu said mysteriously.

Nie Anxia asked suspiciously, "Really?" ”

Seeing that he had a serious expression, it didn't look like he was lying, but the doubts in Nie Anxia's heart were even greater.

She obviously didn't leave the pearl earrings in the old mansion, how could Old Man Lu pick them up?

"As long as you make this question, I will give you the pearl earrings, and I will do what I say." The other party reiterated the request.

Nie Anxia was already full of curiosity at the moment, and couldn't wait to learn the truth.

She brought the paper with the question written in front of her, trying to understand the words with her little brain, but she couldn't think of an answer.

Seeing Nie Anxia taking such painstaking efforts, Lu Shichen silently brought the topic to the front.

After glancing at it, he whispered with a little disgust, "I thought you would be as good at math as English, but it seems that there is no hope." ”

Not to be outdone, Nie Anxia replied, "Do you think I'm an all-round genius?" ”

She wished she could do that, but it was obviously impossible.

Nie Anxia was going to talk about him, but he didn't expect Lu Shichen to make a question with two brushstrokes.

"It's as simple as that?" She glanced at the answer, and it felt like a dream.

Lu Shichen writes the questions with such a style, he is like a master of flowing water.

didn't have time to be surprised, Nie Anxia quickly handed the result to Old Man Lu, "Grandpa, look, is this answer correct?" ”

After all, it was written by Lu Shichen in a minute, so even if the answer is wrong, it is not surprising.

Unexpectedly, Old Man Lu nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, it seems that the basic skills have not been forgotten, and I am very pleased with this." ”

Listening to what she meant, it seems that she has done the right thing.

Lu Shichen looked uninterested, and said lightly, "Grandpa is right, this is nothing more than the foundation, something that anyone can do." ”

Sensing his unhappiness, Nie Anxia sighed silently in her heart, "It is said that women's hearts are needles, and it seems that men's hearts are not magnanimous. ”

She was really glad that Old Man Lu didn't mention the company, and soon heard him speak.

"How's the Lu family's situation lately?"

Lu Shichen sneered, "The company's situation is good, second uncle, you can bring the company on a new track as soon as possible." ”

"What's on track?" Mr. Lu thought that the company had opened a new business, but he didn't know it.

Seeing that he wanted to mislead Grandpa Lu, Nie Anxia reminded him euphemistically, "Grandpa, he's joking with you!" The company is still the same as before, unchanged. ”

The answers of the two were obviously different, and they also successfully made Old Man Lu suspicious, "I've been busy lately, and I don't have time to take care of the company's affairs, don't lie to me." ”

Seeing that he was worried, obviously concerned about the company's situation, Nie Anxia was embarrassed to talk nonsense.

"Grandpa, in fact, the company is ...... now"
